I know that last Monday was your big day, and I'm just hoping that everthing went well for you.

Anyway, I thought I'd start this thread to generate some healing psychic energy for you!

cheers and hugs and getter better soon!

Wow -- I was about to lie down for my afternoon nap when I found this thread. Thank you, everyone, for the kind thoughts.

I had a total abdominal hysterectomy on Oct. 3; now I'm home, hugging a pillow to my belly, shuffling from the kitchen to the living room for exercise. Tina's report is accurate: I'm tired and sore, but OK. On Friday my staples come out; that's also when I find out when I have to go back to work. I'm hoping not for a while! I'm really getting into the nap-read-vegetate routine.

Pollyanna Department: Between the removal of the massive fibroid and loss of appetite, I'm down 5 lbs. I wouldn't recommend this diet plan, however! But at least my body is back on track for a little more weight loss -- and no more fibroids. (I sent my last box of tampons to Tina for hurricane evacuees.)

Thanks again. I love you guys!

Okay, since Zoe has avoided every single request for a real address from me, I didn't get to send her the card. Zoe, I have a card for you. Glad it's all over, and glad the 5 lbs left, too!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
